Perth Zoo

Would have been 5 stars HOWEVER it was a very rude shock to find that the drinks vending machine that advertised 600ml drinks as being $5 has actually also charged me a $3 service fee PER DRINK. Drinks should be advertised as $8 if it's going to cost me $8. Outrageous vending machine charge aside, we had an absolutely wonderful day at the perth zoo. There is way too much glass/perspex. This stuff is so hard to see and photograph through😭😭. There were a number of animals we were unable to see but that's how zoos are. It's a beautiful zoo to walk around, the grounds are well established, well maintained and absolutely gorgeous. The paths are pretty easy to follow and animal placement makes sense. I love the rainforest - where the deep dark wood is at the moment - so so pretty. My son loved the suspension bridge. He also loved the playground and the gruffalo trail. The new monkey towers/ropes near the main grass area is fantastic and i bet the monkeys love it too. The reptile house is incredible. The nocturnal house however - it was soooo hard to see anything at all. It was just too dark. We've been to a lot, unfortunately perth, yours is a miss - hopefully it's in the pipeline to be updated like your reptile house obviously has been. Lunch was pricey and tbh not fantastic. I don't know why zoos can't make good food!?!?! And $7 for a golden gaytime🤯🤯. But at least there hasn't been a $3 service fee chucked on that one - yet. Every staff member we came in contact with was brilliant. I'm really happy you still give out paper maps too - so so so much easier than telling us to look on our phone, in the sun, when you can't see the screen. Also, kids like having the map. We were at the zoo from 10am-4:30pm. Saw everything but the Australian animals (we went to a wildlife park yesterday so figured we could safely skip that bit to save time) and had a thoroughly wonderful time. That charge has left a sour taste in my mouth though.

It is a great place especially for young children. Big and spacious all around. Huge grasslands for them to run around to expend their energy. There’s also a cafe and a playground for children of different ages to rest and enjoy A wide variety of animals, animal enclosures were all well designed to provide the best viewing experience knowing that animals don’t stay put at one place, there are different angles in enclosures for viewing

One of the best zoos in the world. I am from Singapore and I am truly loving it! It's well organized and it's easy to locate where we are from the map. The animals are well taken care of and beautiful. All the staff are friendly and helpful. The plants and trees are amazing! I bought some souvenirs from the gift shops too! Highly recommended!

We had a great day out at the Perth Zoo. It is very family friendly and pram friendly, however there are some uneven surfaces. The animals all looked well cared for and happy, a lot of them were active (or visible) when we were there which was really nice. We spoke to a zoo keeper who was very knowledgeable and only happy to answer any questions.

Perth Zoo is a tropical oasis filled with animals from around the globe. It, in my opinion represents a fantastic day out for the family. The facilities are second to none. Take a picnic and make a day of it. Or buy your food there. This does add to the budget spend. There is plenty to do and see. Do your homework and roll up for daily activities at allotted time points. Enjoy.

A beautiful zoo with stunning gardens. The gibbons display at the front is sensational, so much opportunity for such a unique view! The dinosaur park was fantastic and with more coming I'll be back for it!

Visit the Perth Zoo today and saw the new Gibbons exhibit. Its was worth the trip. Very entertaining. Dinosaurs still setting up and worth looking at even scared some small children. Lions, giraffes, black bears, reptiles and other animals to see.

Enjoyed the day out at Perth Zoo. Nice, relaxed walk around, with plenty of seating to have a rest, a coffee in the café, or just sit and watch some of the animals. We liked the layout, taking you from one environment to another, with lots of lovely trees throughout, adding to the natural feel. Animals looked healthy and most were active. One or two were hard to see but we have no problem with that - if they want to rest and/or are hard to spot, so be it. Had a nice chat with a lovely gentleman (sorry, can’t remember his name), who worked there, who gave us some interesting information about some of the birds.
